It took me awhile to get into my most recent wip, but once I started to get to know the characters, I really started to love the book and now I'm excited about it instead of worrying that it's crap.<br /><br />Just keep writing and you'll get past that point, experience the thrill of finishing and publishing, and then start all over again. *grin*<br /><br />Congratulations!Stacey Joy Netzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13908548379784017162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3974664840119651047.post-726048670150106382013-04-03T14:43:08.237-04:002013-04-03T14:43:08.237-04:00Just between you and me, Christina, I've had t...Just between you and me, Christina, I've had that same fear with every one of my eight novels so far, and I write from a well-developed plan.<br /><br />I know now that in the first draft I'll spew, and in the second I will link and interconnect the threads of the tale I knew to be there. The third draft enhances the language that the final polish brings to a glow.<br /><br />Threads can be added or removed, and plot points can change. Holes in the story-line can be filled. None of that, however, happens until someone has the courage to write in the first place. You do, and deserve congratulations for putting your words on display for the world to see.<br /><br />Without readers, and author's voice is only imagination. Lacking authors, our readers' own imagination is all they would have. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
